Sorry Dogbert, but I'm not going to reveal what she tells me on PMs. That's the way it is. Deal with it. I learned she wasn't in Korea through the IP addresses that were logged, not through private messages. And that's all I'm able to tell you. It's also the only thing I know to be a fact.

[dogbert]

Thanks. I will indeed "deal with it".

Don't know about you poor people but I'm on 2.5, 3hours a day, no weekends, I charge 55.000w for my privates every day, with married women who i sleep with, and my boss pays for all my meals and sattelite TV. I'm secretly russian, and I don't even have a degree!! If you are on anything less than that, you're being ripped off!

GlowstickGirl aint in Korea?

Well..who cares...in fact who cares where she is and what she is...
Because, as we all know, she, he or it has a en "Ivy League" degree...

To the OP's question: yes.

Yes, you should hustle. If you have an F4 visa you can hustle your way into a plum job asap too.

And please will you tell everyone the truth about where you are cos I'm sure everyone else is as curious as me?

So what is an Ivy League university then, when it's at home?

I never really heard much about them before I came to Korea. Are they important? My university in New Zealand had ivy growing on it, I am proud to report.

Well, in the south in the states, we have "Kudzu League" universities cause that is about all that grows on buildings there.

As someone with a B.A. (or A.B. when I'm in a pretentious mood) from an Ivy League university, I can state unequivocally that one's college alma mater has absolutely no bearing on one's intelligence or ability to succeed in life (and by most conservative standards, success means income level and job status).

However, Koreans and unfortunately Korean-Americans as well are overly obsessed with education backgrounds (those having gone to Harvard somehow being inherently better human beings, not just more intelligent, that those who went to a state university such as U.Mass. or other local Boston schools like Boston U. or Boston College). I'm not completely sure where this attitude comes from, but my guess is that it has to do with the whole confucian influence as well as the inferiority complex that any group of people would have if they had been historically oppressed (as Koreans have been). It's really silly when you come right down to it, but as regards these english-schools, it's their right to hire whomever they choose. They do not operate under u.s. laws. Oh well!

If you don't like it there, come back home to the U.S.

I'm not sure Lush if you are criticizing what I've written, but I'm presuming you're an ethnic Korean. Writing that your location is in the Samsung building looking down upon the peons around city hall indicates your own personal insecurity..It also indicates that you're loafing on the job and hopefully your superiors will find out about this.

I wrote the whole "A.B. when I'm in a pretentious mood" to be sarcastic. I met so many arrogant spoiled jackasses at my college and don't keep in touch with any of them here less than a decade after I graduated. I am thankful for the few normal people I befriended then that make my college memories pleasant. Looking back on the experience however, I know I would have been better off at a state university. It certainly would have been cheaper.

And I'm a kyopo by the way.

xat, i think you're reading too much into what he said, relax. He was criticizing the OP, not you (except maybe your reading skills).
